SkySoaringMagpie Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Looking for some name help as Google is not throwing up anything sounding that promising. I'm after ideas for a male Saluki call name on the theme of "gold" or "golden". I have settled on the reg name I want, it's Arabic meaning "hero of gold" but it does not pass the porch test at all so I can't adapt it for the call name.

Salukifan Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) "Goldie" not cutting it? How abot "Auric" as in "Goldfinger" :) Then we can all channel our best Shirley Bassey voices. :cool: Edited September 11, 2013 by Haredown Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diva Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) I liked Goldie :laugh: Zeri is a gold thread, middle eastern. Sari is blonde, Turkish Boyd means blonde too but is Celtic, wrong region I guess. Not on the gold theme, but Zidan/ Zeydan are names that come from the Arabic for ' to add', and you have added a few 'lukis lately! Maybe Dosh,slang for money, taking a wider slant on gold, lol.

Diva Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Zohar is nice, but I had a Zohra so probably biased. :) Jarah is pretty too, while still being masculine. When I named my second to last, one of my public servant friends formed an 'ad hoc naming committee' amongst our mutual (non-doggy non-show)friends and they all got to make nominations and lobby, before finalising their advice. It was hilarious in a very Canberra-centric way..... Edited September 12, 2013 by Diva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks for the help everyone, but particular thanks to the person who PM'd me (they can't post in this forum) and suggested Nebu, the Egyptian symbol for gold.
